What fresh hell is this?
My mother had a physical therapy session today, which I attended.
She wasn't even trying, and during the session it was mentioned that they expect her to come home on Wednesday.
I can't take care of her if she won't try to take care of herself, and she is not trying. Right now she needs someone to dress her, wash her, help her up from bed or a chair, instruct her on each step she takes.
I can't do this. I just can't do it.
What am I going to do?
If she comes home, my life will be a living hell, with her as the central figure. If she doesn't come home, I'm going to have to orchestrate the sale of her belongings, including her house, to pay for wherever she goes.
My brother is, as usual, no help at all.

I\'ve taken a backwards plunge into an even more miserable situation than I was in before I came here - and that was intolerable. The absolute only family member that is not pissing me off is my younger daughter, and she is a bit hearing impaired. I just want to be on my own somewhere else. Why can I never seem to get there?
